Chapter 10

Stanley as well as Joseph went wide-eyed and open-mouthed in astonishment to see Billy, who was a big shot, kneel down in front of another man. This time, Matthew had really done Billy a huge favor. "Mr. Newman, you don't have to thank me!" Matthew waved his hands dismissively and continued, "As a healer, I care about my patients like they are my children. I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, so please don't worry about it. But, I in fact, do need a favor from you."

"Mr. Larson, please tell me all about it!" Billy quickly urged, "I'll help you no matter what you want me to do, despite how dangerous and challenging it can be!"

"It's nothing much. I just hope that you can keep whatever happened today to yourself." In a hushed tone, Matthew added, "I prefer to live a more private life."

Billy, who was stunned for a second, immediately understood what he meant. "I got it. Everyone listen to me; no one is to share anything about what happened today with others!"

Several guys standing beside him nodded vigorously. Who had the guts to disobey Billy's instruction which was as sacred as an Emperor's edict?

After that, Matthew prepared a new prescription for Miss Newman. "Although Miss Newman has regained consciousness, her body is still very weak after being unconscious for a year. What's more, the underlying disease she's having is going to slow down her recovery process. This prescription here will help her restore her vitality and she will be fully recovered after two weeks. Mr. Newman, please bring he to see me two weeks later, and I'll then go on to treat her underlying disease."

Overjoyed, Billy immediately stretched out his hand for the prescription. "Mr. Larson, thank you so much!"

Instead of handing the paper to him, Matthew gave it to Joseph. "Mr. Newman, one needs to be properly trained to handle the medicine, because the medicinal effect will be substantially different if any mistake is made during the preparation. So, I think it's best to let Mr. Harrison handle it. After all, he's more experienced in this."

Joseph was dumbfounded as soon as Matthew said that. On the surface, Matthew was just assigning a task to Joseph, but it was at bottom a wonderful opportunity for Joseph to build a bond with Billy.
